Julia Gillard and Cate Blanchett: We both grew up in Australia, where our education provided strong foundations to meet our potential as female leaders. Millions of girls throughout the world deserve the same chance

This is not my status but I think this is far more than being a status Australian PM Julia Gillard should be made Queen of the world. What she has said requires a lot of courage and confidence. All the countries in the world should have leaders like her. She says "Muslims, who are demanding Sharia law have been asked to leave Australia by wednesday because Australia sees fanatic muslims as terrorists. Each and every mosque will be searched and muslims will cooperate with us in this process. All the muslims who have migrated from other countries to Australia will have to adept and change themselves as per our country and not expect us to change as per them. If they are unable to do so, they are most welcome to leave Australia. A lot of Australian are worried that we may be insulting a particular religion.but I assure the people of Australia that whatever is being done is for the betterment of Australia and its people. We speak English here and not Arabic or urdu or any othe islamic language so if you wan . ...

An airplane was about to crash; there were 5 passengers on board, but only 4 parachutes. The first passenger said, “I am President Obama, and I am the CHOSEN ONE! The world needs me, I can’t afford to die.” So he took the first parachute and jumped. The second passenger, Julia Gillard, said, “I was the Prime Minister of Australia and I am the smartest woman in Australian history, so Australia’s people don’t want me to die.” She took the second parachute and jumped. The third passenger, John Kerry, said, “I’m the U.S. Secretary of State, and I am a decorated war hero.” So he grabbed the third parachute and jumped. The fourth passenger, former President George W Bush, said to the fifth passenger, a 10-year-old schoolgirl, “I have lived a full life, and served my country the best I could. I will sacrifice my life and let you have the last parachute.” The little girl said, “That’s okay, Mr. President. There’s still one parachute left for you. The CHOSEN ONE took my backpack.”

Had to reply to a letter writer in today's SMH. Leo is a huge Dolt fan and couldn't help myself. "Julia Gillard is using the same lame excuse first used by an ALP politician Carmel Lawrence (former Premier of Western Australia) when she uttered, "I cannot recall". I believe that the Australian public have made up their minds on the issues that were raised at the Royal Commission. Leo Vilensky Castle Cove (letter smh 12/09/2014)." Yep another bloody politician using the same old 'I can't recall' defence. Like John Howard, Alexander Downer, Chrissy Pyne, Tony Abbort, Joe Hockey, Arthur Sinodinos, Peter Reith. Good to see you only singled out two ALP women to prove your point. Can't wait until ALP gets back in power so we can have Royal Commisions into the AWB, Iraq war, human rights abuses, stopping the boats, *** orgies in Peter Slippers office, the rorting by LNP poltiicians, the blatant corruption of LNP pollies as exposed by ICAC etc etc. There is a very real threat of terrorism in Australia. And th ...

W-a-r-n-i-n-g!!! "LEAVE THIS COUNTRY IF YOU WANT TO LIVE UNDER SHARIA LAW". "Take It Or Leave It" Australia Prime Minister Julia Gillard Tell Muslims This is our country is our land, enjoy it. If you complain or whine about our our Flag, our Pledge, our Christian beliefs, or Our Way of Life, You should take the advantage of leaving the country. **Christian men and women, on Christian principles, founded this nation, and this is clearly documented. **our language, culture has been developed over 2 centuries of struggles, trials and victories, learn or leave the country. Prime Minister Julia Gillard of Australia has argued Muslims who want to live under Islamic Sharia law in her country to get out of Australia, as the government targeted radicals in a bid to head off potential terror attacks. Separately, Gillard angered some Australian Muslims on Wednesday by saying she supported spy agencies monitoring the nation's mosques. Quote: 'Immigrants, Not Australians, Must Adapt...

All with the help of Michael Vartan, Jen Garner, Matt Damon, Jeremy Renner, Dr D, Peter Cosgrove and Julia Gillard. We realised that Queen Mary of Denmark, Our Duchess of Cambridge and Katy Perry are all Angels just like me and Pink is our white light Angel and the world started to see that Angels are valuable and our work is worth being paid for and we are the type of girls people listen to so that we can help all the other girls. Us Angels are for the boys and girls and we caused a lot of Global Cultural reform so to reduce the incidences of sexism and to make sure that people heal their own worlds first.

First of all i believe, today a person must know at least 3-4 international language for better communication, But if India is promoting Hindi and its culture, there is nothing wrong in it. My question to those narrow minded people, who lives in India and getting more benefits than, so called its majority community people, that why they always oppose India and its sentiments? Recently, when former Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard said, Australia is Christian country and those who want to stay in Australia, they must respect its culture and must speak English, And British Prime Minister David Cameron followed her with the same statement for UK, why you all people were silent at their statement.? And i believe also, there is nothing wrong in David Cameron's and Julia Gillard's statement by stating so. But why all those narrow minded mongers, opposing Indian culture and Hindi language.?

Memo to Paul Murray: You're jumping up and down on the telly tonight about Clive Palmer's 'fertility' comments about Peta Credlin. And very rightly so. But what about when Liberal Senator Bill Heffernan criticized Julia Gillard for being 'deliberately barren'. And when Christopher Pyne referred to Gillard as being 'eaten out like a fly blown sheep'. And when Alan Jones referred to Gillard's father recent passing away as 'dying of shame'? You and your Murdoch media mates were all very quiet then. Me thinks you have got to purchase a dictionary. And look up the meaning of the word 'consistency'.

Over the past week I have travelled the coast South to Taree working through Port Macquarie , Kempsey, Macksville and back to Coffs Harbour every single person I have spoken with is either totally disgusted with the PM or very disappointed that he has been so dis honest with the public , one big point to make I asked who they voted for and 70% declared the wrong party as they voted National and the reason 60% of those because they said Julia Gillard lied about the carbon Tax, What does this say to the politicians ? Stop taking the community for granted, people are sick of liars sick of been treated like fools , time to get back to the reality of making the decisions that affect people day-to-day, we know with out any doubt that Tony Abbott and Joe Hockey have totally misrepresented the state of Australia's finances and used this as a catalyst for the worst most degrading budget that even the Former PM John Howard told them not to go ahead with. I understand the political divide between parties however thi ...
